Jul 23, 2008 14:29
According to Computerandvideogames.com The article stated: "Imagine our surprise when we were toldthat the game had failed epilepsy tests and has to be re-engineered asa result before it can be released to the public. CVG hasbeen told that WipEout "fails the epilepsy tests so much that it has tobe re-engineered." All that speed and flashing lights zipping past youreyes must be too much to handle. No further details wereavailable, such as how long this re-working might take but we'vecontacted Sony and are still awaiting an official response on thestatus of WipEout HD and when we can expect to see it launch on PSN. " Bright flashing lights and wicked soundtracks...it's like going to a techno rave only with slight seisures.

Oy! Watch your mouth!
Anyway, If you're a light-sensitive epileptic
...what are you doing playing video games in the first place? That's like sending a type-two diabetic to Dairy Queen isn't it?

Sony has released a press-release after this, saying that the reason it's delayed weren't due to eppileptic seizures. They said the delay were due to they decided to implement more features. Trophies, and local splitscreen were some of the new features mentioned in the press release.
